We had so much fun talking chocolate, connection, and presence on this morning! 🍫✨

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to prioritize intentional time with your partner (or your besties) this Valentine’s season—this is it.

Our Texture, Taste & Touch workshop on Feb 13 isn’t just about indulging in artisan chocolates by (though that’s a delicious bonus 😋). It’s about slowing down, tuning in, and reconnecting with yourself and the people you care about through all five senses.

Because the best gift you can give? Your full presence. Not distracted, not multitasking, just… here.

📍 Feb 13, 6:30-8pm at Simple Modern Therapy
🎟️ $60/person

It’s easy to wonder what the point is of carrying on, especially during times when great pain is being experienced by so many. But the more we attend to our work, the greater we are aligned with our own ethics, morals and sense of community. It takes a lot of work to maintain an open heart, to tend to our wounds and the wounds of others. We must remember that as we heal, our capacity grows. We’re in this together.

What if this Valentine’s season, instead of rushing toward grand gestures, you slowed down enough to actually feel?

On February 13th, we’re creating space to do exactly that.

This isn’t your typical workshop. It’s 90 minutes of intentional presence, sensory exploration, and genuine connection. Whether you’re coming with a partner, your best friend(s), or celebrating Galentine’s/Gaylentine’s style, this evening is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and/or the people you care about.

You’ll experience:
🌹 Art-forward florals by that invite you to notice beauty differently

🍫 Artisan chocolate tasting by —each bite an invitation to be present

🕯️ Thoughtful conversation and guided reflection led by Kayla Adams, LCSW, s*x therapist

✨ A space that honors all expressions of love and connection
This is educational, reflective, and deeply experiential—grounded in a s*x-positive lens that welcomes everyone exactly as they are.

Friday, February 13 | 6:30–8:00 PM

I see this pattern so often… but it defeats me every time.

She comes in exhausted. She’s working full time, managing the kids, the house, the schedules, the emotional temperature of his interactions with her. She’s trying to communicate her needs, ask for something different, wanting to be seen. And she’s getting met with defensiveness, criticism, contempt, or just flat-out dismissal. She’s asking—sometimes begging—for him to come to therapy with her, or even go on his own.

He refuses. Because he’s fine. He doesn’t have a problem. Or if there is a problem, it’s hers to solve.

And here’s what kills me: she still shows up every week trying to figure out what she’s doing wrong. How she can ask differently. How she can be more patient. How she can make him see her without making him feel attacked.

I watch her pour everything into saving a relationship he won’t even acknowledge needs help. And I’m supposed to support her in her desire to stay and tolerate the bu****it? To figure out how to navigate a relationship where she deserves so much more? Is that just how it is?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat across from a woman who is completely depleted, doing the work for two people, while her partner won’t even show up once.

It’s the most helpless I feel in this job. And honestly? I’m tired of it.

If you’re reading this and seeing yourself - you’re not crazy. You’re not asking for too much. And you deserve a partner who’s willing to try.

To my fellow therapists: What’s the pattern or situation that that you struggle with most in your work?

You’re either going to watch a train wreck in slow motion or you’re going to see a massive “upset” (as they’d say in the sports world) where we get to the Big Dance and win the Championship - bullhorns, streamers and high-fives galore. Either way, come along for the ride.

Yes, it is INCREDIBLY vulnerable to be posting the potential demise (or surprise!) of my relationship as a “relationship expert” of 20+ years. But it is also complete bu****it if your couples therapist is making you believe that they don’t or won’t ever have serious problems, because they do and/or will.

And as I’m writing this, literally, my husband is stumbling out of our room blurting out “we have to have sacred time… how are we going to do this?”

Bro. I have no idea.

I debated posting this for …. well… months.

Not because I was worried about being “too vulnerable”—honestly, I’m past caring about that. But because I know how social media works. Everyone’s out here posting their New Year glow-ups and fresh starts, and all their ooey-gooey hope. And here I am talking about perimenopause, relationship breakdowns, and losing half my team.

But the truth is, 2025 has been brutal. And I’m tired of pretending that being a therapist means I’ve somehow figured out how to avoid the hard stuff.

I haven’t.

I’ve spent this year furious at the emotional labor I do for free. I’ve resented my training for making me my family’s go-to crisis manager. I’ve fought with my partner, lost a friend I really cared about, and seriously questioned whether I even have the capacity to keep doing this work.

And you know what? I’m still here. Still showing up for my clients. Still rebuilding my practice (with the one and only, Andres). Still trying to figure out my marriage and my health and what the hell comes next.

If you’re in the thick of it right now—if your year looked nothing like what you planned—you’re not alone. Swipe to see what I mean. 👉

And if it helps to scream into the void, or name the bs 2025 brought your way, be my guest. I’m here for it. ❤️
